Splendid weekend of comedy, food, double dinners, and everything

Great weekend. As an intro though, specifically for the people from work who mentioned they had found this page recently - at no point did I drink too much and become annoying, I am a fine upstanding member of staff. Probably you can go back to work ...

The Tales of Beedle the Bard

Amazon bought this book for something like two million pounds in a charity auction. And now they're releasing it so you can enjoy it too.Available December 4th 2008....

Look at the rubbish I went to in 1993

I was clearly going to anything that was going in 1993, but Pulp played Portsmouth TWICE in 1993 and I didn't go. What was going on? Radiohead also played Portsmouth and Southampton this year, supposedly my peak years when I was doing the fanzine, I ...

Maybe the PHP 4 to 5 will go more smoothly than I thought...

If all has gone according to plan, www.claremahon.com should now be serving up pages using PHP5, while www.clarkeology.com and www.folkestonegerald.com are still on PHP4. Pages like this Harry Clarke page or wiki style searches like this are using PH...

Voici wikipedia:Pakito is the alias of French Eurodance artist, Julien Ranouil. He became known thanks to his cover of Living on Video by Trans-X. Later hits are "Moving on Stereo" and "Are U ready". So far his music style can be best determined as E...

Terry Pratchett's Colour Of Magic coming to Sky One

Only just seen a trailer for it, guessing it has not been on yet. Their Hogfather was OK despite not liking the story so I'm sure this will be goood. Interesting to see the same actors playing different characters (though in the same universe), David...

RE: Possibly the best Lost episode so far

Looks like the are going to settle on the hokey science explanation along the way. This book appeared in the previous episode which might explain some things -> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VALISGreat episode I thought though....

Connections between Lost and The Office

Looking for the new episode, there are a few fakers out there. Looking on lostpedia for air times, it says the Americans only get episode two today, though Canada gets episode three, and Sky gets episode three on Sunday too. Didn't think much of epis...

Weather report part two

Ferocious rain woke us both up in the night, a proper downpour again. Clare got the fear that the weather might have resulted in our pilot light going out (it happened before), which would mean waking up to cold showers, so I got up to check on it. W...

Alan Moore

Not the barber shop in Portchester, but the comic bloke, Hibbett wrote a song about the time he saw him in a comic shop. Just posting this here to remind me to check it out later really, as I just saw it posted elsewhere.Mark wrote this for FAWM, and...

Day of SPORT

No, more likely day of EATING, with SPORT for dessert. Don't suppose we'll see any of the England v Estonia game today though you never know, we will be in Canterbury. There's some kind of food fair on in Dane John gardens, which is near the bus stat...

Tracey Emin will be scattering childrens clothes around our town

Read more about the Folkestone triennial, sounds interesting... Always good to get a mention in the press, even if they do highlight how run down Folkestone has been recently. Also, who is the ex Iron Maidener who lives in the town? Aha, wikipedia sa...

jquery is great

I use it for everything, it's well recommended. I'm sure prototype is good now too, but jquery is tiny, and does everything you need, and the code you write with it is tiny too. I have got really into the way you select things to do things to too. As...

Lost / Red Dwarf crossover

Ha, in series one, episode five of Lost apparently Charlie says that he can't swim. This is not a continuity error, this is PROOF that they are not really on an island, they're really in a virtual reality game on board Red Dwarf.A fairly poor episode...

RE: Meet the new boss

Heyup, Pauly. I vote for a party, or a consituency MP, not for the party leader. While I'm concerned that there is no leadership election in the Labour party this time, I'm not sure if that will put of any more voters than those already disillusioned...

"Only" three more series of Lost after this one

I'm still really into it, but don't entirely believe anything the producers of Lost say so will see how this report from Yahoo pans out. Apparently there will only be three more short series of sixteen episodes each of Lost after this one.Really enjo...

I've replied by email

Good luck, that's not a lot of info to go on, Greater London is massive so without a town or borough and a range of dates you've got your work cut out. I would stick to the free sites rather than the pay sites....

Luncheon fiasco

Bah, forgot my lunch today, all I remembered was the fruit component. There are no shops within walking distance, and though there are vending machines here at work, one stole my money and failed to deliver my crisps the other day, so not sure about ...

It is all work work work

Really enjoyed my first week in the new job, it's a great place and a good crowd. And I'm not just writing this in case anyone there remembered the url from my CV and decides to investigate at some point. I even achieved something in my first week, I...

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Interesting pop chart changes afoot, now downloads are eligible for the chart even if there is no corresponding CD single available. As this is a relatively new technology, changes are happening all the time I'm sure, but this is quite a meaty one. W...

Back in blog

Reading: The Last Bus Home. Yes, we watched "This Life +10" last night, and it was a bit rubbish. I didn't watch all of This Life the first time round, I'd just moved to London and was really sharing a house on the south bank with some barristers, I ...

Did all my links break?

Bah, can anyone see any of the embedded videos below? What did I do? And then all the videos came back...What I did do today is walk up to the out of town Sainsbury's on a quest for Coke Zero, as no-one in town has it... also tried to sign up at a de...

History in my day

Another bright and breezy morning, just cool enough to stop me walking down town in just a t-shirt, but warm enough not to stop me walking down town at all. I headed the usual route past the courts and the DSS (all the nice scenic points), to what I�...

Skate knobs

Has this menu board been defaced, or are "Skate knobs" a real thing?That's the menu board from The Hermitage... If you were going to go to the bother of messing with their board, surely you'd change that to "Peasant Pate" too?Aha from wikibooks:skate...

Videos of Folkestone: SECRET TUNNELS!

Just been trawling www.youtube.com to see if there's any new Folkestone footage that isn't local kids beating each other up, and there is! Here's some spooky silent footage of the Victorian Channel Tunnel:This is presumably the one that was abandoned...
